It is really hard to imagine your friends passing but as you reconnect with your fellow military members you find out things that are heartbreaking. Right now, I am dealing with an imminent loss and an unexpected death of one of my friends while in Germany. Last year it was SMSgt Floyd Parton (Lou Gehrigs Disease -ALS). What a decent man!!!
The other day I found out that TSgt Kimberly Reeb has also passed away to Cancer and she was probably in her early 50s. Still too young imho. Then I have a friend who was in Vietnam and a weather forecaster who is dying with Leukemia. He wants to remain anonymous name-wise, but I have been conversing with him for months. He also had four heart attacks but it appears Leukemia has it's own heartbreak.
I dreamed about him passing last night. The lonely loss of a military brother. Also lost a SSgt in a C-5A crash that took Randy's life. We played softball together at Volgelweh. Kaiserslautern.
Who do you know that has passed or is passing and give a shout out to the heroes that died before us?

To many to list - Soldiers and friends, lost in combat in Afghanistan and some to the invisible enemy here in the U.S. Not a day goes by in which I don't think about any of them.

SSgt (Join to see), my wife and I attended the funeral of SSG(ret) Adam Lee Gordon today (29MAR15). It was truly an extraordinary service. He was a Christian, and yet the service was officiated by his lifelong friend, a Jewish Army chaplain. The chapel was filled with Soldiers and Marines in dress uniform.
We had known him since he was a young teen, as my wife and children became black belts in karate along with Adam and his sister. My wife and his mother had remained friends.
It was an incredibly sad day.
Requiescat in pace, Adam Gordon.
